The officer claims she didn’t realize a whole train was coming when she left a woman handcuffed in a parked police car.

    There are an insane number of factors making it impossible for this to be anything other than an intentional murder attempt.

        Trains are very loud, very bright, train tracks are very bumpy, with signs everywhere. Have you ever not noticed any of these things, even separately?

          Also, the article states the officer walked across the tracks AT LEAST five times. The picture shows that the crossing is clearly visible, signed, and possibly lighted (though it’s at-grade, which is something a lot of rail people have been saying is incredibly dangerous for JUST THIS REASON). I don’t see any way this could have been an accident unless the officer was SERIOUSLY impaired in some way, and even then there’s a case to be made for serious negligence.
